ISF 3.5

The time integrated reaction flow (solid red line) during an X-ray burst with particularly
large amounts of hydrogen available at ignition [Sch01]. This calculation delineates the maximum
extent of the rp-process that ends in a Sn-Sb-Te cycle. The colors indicate the intensities of
low energy reaccelerated beams at the ISF. Direct measurements of reaction rates in inverse kinematics
require at least 107-108 s-1, often much more. Indirect techniques can already be applied
with beam intensities in excess of 104 s-1. The dashed lines indicate the classical shell closures.
